Log Cabin Resort is a seasonal lodging and camping complex on Lake Crescent’s north shore, grouping cabins, chalets, lodge rooms and an RV campground in wooded grounds near the water. It suits a trip built around the lake, with boat rentals and basic supplies close by. The shoreline setting is the draw; room upkeep and service can be uneven, so don’t book expecting a uniformly polished hotel stay.

Shoreline Kitchen serves sandwiches, salads, pizzas and ready-to-go food, and a small general store/snack bar covers simple supplies. The resort also has a small-boat launch, restrooms and potable water. Boat rentals and food service are seasonal, so check what’s operating for your dates.

Some older guest cabins likely dated to the 1930s, and many had been moved from other Lake Crescent resorts. In a 2017 improvement project, eight aging cabins were replaced and two cabins designed to ADA/ABA guidelines were added, with an accessible path connecting them to the resort’s main activities.
